The Ford Falcon was first manufactured in 1960. At one time the Falcon was produced for buyers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and many others. But every one of these countries has since discontinued the manufacturing of this car, and it can now only be found in Australia. The Falcon is Ford’s most popular can in Australia, and has been for many years. One interesting fact that people are not aware of is if sales numbers were combined for every country, the Ford Falcon would end up as being one of the biggest selling cars in the history of the automobile industry.
Since 1960 more than four million Falcons have been manufactured and sold to the public. In many years the Falcon has been the best selling car in the entire country. So as you can see, even though this car is no longer being sold in the United States, it does not mean that Ford is not making money off of it. In fact the Falcon is one of the cars that has been able to keep Ford where it is today. Without this car, and its sales, who knows how far Ford would have fallen off during their latest cut backs.
Another interesting fact about the Ford Falcon is that it makes up a lot of the police fleet in Australia as well. This tells you that the Falcon is a very reliable car that can be used for a number of different situations. It is this versatility that has made the Falcon so popular over the years.
Even though the Ford Falcon is no longer produced in the United States does not mean that it is not making waves. Take a trip to Australia and you will surely come across thousands of these cars.
